Publish a Journal

We Can Help

If you are a member of the Duke community and are interested in creating a peer-reviewed online scholarly journal or in changing an existing print scholarly journal into one that is available online, the Duke University Libraries may be able to help you set up and host an online journal.

What We Provide

We can help members of the Duke community establish an online journal using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) software. We host the software and show you how to use it. We can provide guidance and advice as you format your journal and develop its sections.

Why Open Journal Systems (OJS)?

Open Journal Systems (OJS) was developed by the Public Knowledge Project to manage the overhead of creating and sustaining a journal and to make open access publishing simpler. Today, more than 7,500 journals use OJS as their publishing platform. OJS will guide you as you set up a journal. Its templates will help you design your journal's appearance and its internal structure. Online publication removes the barrier of printing costs. OJS's real strength is the way it helps you manage the publishing process — from receiving submissions and editing them to designing layouts and publishing works. OJS is online and will help you track and manage articles as they move through the review process, keeping the publication process on schedule.

ВИВЛИОѲИКА: E-Journal of Eighteenth-Century Russian Studies is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to the culture and history of the Russian Empire during "the long eighteenth century" (1660-1830). The journal is open to submissions in all relevant disciplines and in all the major languages in which eighteenth-century Russian studies is researched.
